18 NAME FILE
18.1 What is a Name File?
Name file is a name information file to add a name to a relay No. or register No. used
in the ladder program. (For the format of the name file, refer to “26.3 Name File
Format”.)
18.2 Reading Name File
Name file is read in at either one of the following cases.

When a ladder program file or CMOS file is open

When a name file is read in from the menu
When a ladder program file or COMS file is open, the name file is read in at the same
time as the ladder program file or CMOS file. When a name file is read in from the
menu, any existing name file can be read in whenever necessary.
The name file is saved in the same folder as the ladder program file or the CMOS file.
(Even if a name file has not been prepared, the ladder program can still be edited.
Refer to " 18.2.1 Reading Name File Automatically (With Name File) ".)
18.2.1 Reading Name File Automatically (With Name File)
When reading in a ladder program file or a CMOS file, Ladder Editor 32NX
automatically reads in the name file, too. The name file read in is determined
by the ladder name of the ladder program used as a keyword (refer to “15.1
Ladder Name and System Register Editing”).
Example)
Ladder program name : ARCWELD
Read in file name : ARCWELD.NAM
